NORWALK -- A 41-year-old city man was arrested on a warrant Tuesday for allegedly roughing up a city woman and taking her cell phone.

Juan Diaz-Rodriguez, of 67 Lexington Ave., was charged with third-degree robbery, fifth-degree larceny, third-degree assault and interference with a 911 call. He was held on $10,000 bond.

Police say a 42-year-old woman was walking home from the bar when she encountered Diaz-Rodriguez on Chestnut Street in the early morning hours of March 2. He began arguing with her for unclear reasons and then struck her in the face, police said.

When she picked up her iPhone to call 911, Diaz-Rodriguez threw the phone, police said. The victim picked up the phone, and Diaz-Rodriguez grabbed it out of her hands, according to police.

The victim walked home and called police. Officers were unable to locate Diaz-Rodriguez but obtained a warrant for his arrest shortly after the complaint was lodged, police said.
